Does it help stop dogs from marking on the same spot? How does it smell?
8935
Well, my dog doesn't have a marking problem, but my cat had a habit of peeing in the same place if for some reason she didn't want to use the litter box or access to the litter box was blocked, and I feel pretty confident that this removes all trace because after I started using this she stopped going back to the same spot and started using her box again. Before I was cleaning the floor up with just about every cleaning solution you can imagine and it didn't seem to help, she'd just keep returning to the scene of the crime. As for the smell, it smells like a mild cleaning solution. It definitely isn't terrible, I've never been bothered by it.

Not in my experience. I give my dog a "time-out" in the backyard of a few hours (with food and water, of course), and he hates not being in the house with me. That stopped him for a long while from marking. However, whenever he lapses and tries it again, he gets another "time out." Have to catch him in the act, or a minute after for that tactic to work. I guess it depends on the dog whether that works or not. As far as the product, it has a fresh, fragrant smell to me. I think they changed it, as it seems stronger than before. The scent dissipates after a while, too, but it seems also to be a deterrent to my dog, as he associates that with his "time-out." Not in my experience.

I don't have dogs that "mark", however, Simple Solution Extreme Stain Remover has always removed every pet stain completely. Just follow the instructions. It also helps to get to the accident immediately, but this product works on older stains very well. Simple Solution has a clean, fresh, very pleasant scent. Not at all over powering.

Usually it only takes one or two sprays to stop the barking. But I don't find the smell very offensive anyway. It may bother the dog but the smell doesn't bother me and it goes away quickly.

It helps to keep the pee on the pad and off the floor around it. You might have to put one side on at a time untill he gets use to using it with the sides on. How ever if your dog is marking you might want to try a male wrap VETS BEST I found works the best and is most comfortable for the dog. Also notice when he is going it sometimes it is seperation anxiety I have to put one on my dog if I leave for a short time he even seems to have anxiety when I go downstairs to do laundry other then that he could be marking if you have other pets or females he may be marking his territory if needed you can also use feminine panty shields inside the wrap in case of accident.--------Good Luck hope this helps

yes it does, but dogs love things that stink. It's not too powerful though. My dogs love it.

The other version may be cheaper, but do you want that smell? I used the other brand and could smell the traps when I left and came back in. Plus my dog hates the smell, you can tell it bothered him. I use the BFRM becasue it works and you dont need a lot of them to get the job done. It doesn't bother the dog.

I got my puppy started using it by cleaning up a pee puddle with a TINY amount of paper towel, so I could ring it out onto the piddle pad. They got one sniff and started using it then, since they could detect their own pee odor. The Piddle Pad is priceless once they get to using it! Good Luck! :)

My experience with Grannicks Bitter Apple would indicate that it is effective because it is "bitter" to the taste. It will keep dogs from chewing and biting, but is very limited and short-lived as far as being a deterrent as far as "smell" is concerned. I would not use it for the application you mentioned.

Not sure about it being sticky, it just kind of gels and stays..doesn't run. It would prob work if he doesn't roll. Is it a hot spot? I think vetericyn has meds for dogs that might work better.

I've used Urine Off after all kinds of products and it's the only thing I've found that takes away the urine smell and stains. It does wonders on removing odor. I have a male Papillon that is a stubborn little guy and wants to mark his territory. He wears a belly band when roaming around the house and Urine Off gets rid of the smell when the bands are laundered which regular detergent never did.

By removing the smell, it "unmarks" the territory assisting in keeping the pet from urinating in the spot.

I had not noticed a smell, but after reading your question got one out and smelled it. Very very faint smell , maybe like baby powder. These have been a life saver to me, they are the best thing I have bought. My dog is 55 lbs and cannot use back legs, so has no control. I put one of these under him and it pulls urine away from him so he stays dry plus has never leaked and I'm on my 3rd order. As far as smell, I have a very sensitive nose and have had to give other products away because of scent and I did not notice the scent of these until I put it right on my nose. Every other pad I have used has leaked, it urine has been all over my dog. I highly recommend these . Hope this helps you.

Training aid is a bit of a stretch. This will eliminate the odor from the mess if you get to it right away. That will keep your pet from using the same spot again. This is still the best solution for pet mess clean-up

I think the sensor is pointing up and out- it's a little hard to tell because mine doesn't always activate the first pass I make. I would think a dog could definitely activate it especially if the dog was interested in the smells.

The scents are very helpful. All pets have different sense of smells that can trigger them to identify key locations with specific smells. Each pack has different unique scents that work very well; citrus, musky, mint, floral, etc. Some scents work more than others. You will have to test them out to see which one your pup can identify with the most. This product will help with the initial phase of anxiety of being lost. Please let us know if you have any questions

It will, but you don't want to spray this everywhere. It's meant as a perimeter treatment and spot treatment for critters that somehow get in. It's scent is overwhelming if you use too much. Peppermint oil, eucalyptus, etc. If you have animals, definitely make sure they are treated, maybe borax powder?

Yes it is a great product for covering an unsightly bed.. But i dont think it will stop animal (cats) from marking in the same area. For that id use special tape or spray from the pet store.

Possibly....depends on why the cat marked it to start with. If this was a one-time accident Nature's Miracle does a great job of eliminating the odor. But if the cat is marking territory or upset about something he may continue to use the area. Good luck.
